Correct - changing SegmentReader would be best, but in the past, getting proposed patches included has been slower than expected.
I'm sorry if the process has been frustrating to you in the past. I hope your experiences are better in the future.
So, by making the SegmentReader more easily subclassed (which should hopefully get approved quicker), I can still have a "build" of Lucene that does not require patching any files. (just including classes in the appropriate package to access package level vars/methods).
Aren't we discussing a change to IndexReader, adding a new method? This is not a contrib module, but a change to the core. So proposing it as a patch file that changes existing classes is the normal course. I don't think we ought to be in the pracice of making changes in order to support easier access to non-public APIs.
